Video Translation:
My name is Nate Barger. Just like a lot of you guys who come from a normal blue collar alcoholic family, you know, struggled, never knew anything about money. Um I mean Dave Ramsey probably would have been an improvement over what my parents did and you know, this poverty mindset, scarcity mindset if you can't afford it, pay cash, you know, you know, um grew up in kind of a AAA neighborhood that got um affected greatly by the crack epidemic of the late eighties, early
nineties and um end up getting sent away to to an orphanage when I was 14, 14 and I end up getting out when I was about 16, end up selling drugs, falling into the streets, um going to prison twice, just everything I did everything I, everything I did. I failed, man. I must have, I must have failed at 20 different companies. But thankfully for me, man, by the time I was 22, my time in prison was over and that didn't mean that when I got out, I went straight.
It just mean, I never got caught again. So from 22 to 29 I made over $20 million selling weed. I was bringing in weed from Mexico from, um, you know, I was getting from down in Brownsville, South Padre Island also down around, um, Tucson, south of there. So Mata Morris and Nogales, those were the places that we were bringing weed in and it was lucrative business.
And oddly enough, I didn't even smoke weed. I didn't do drugs. I was not alcoholic. So at the time I was 29, man, I had say everything, money could, you know, anything, you could possibly think money. I mean, I was really legitimately making 242,000 a week in profit. So when you think about someone in their twenties making that much cash, paying no taxes, you feel like money.
I can do whatever I want, you know, and that was only bringing in £330 of weed every week, right? So, um, you know, I remember they were like Nate, we want to give you £4000 of weed. And I was like, man, I don't know, man, you gonna make me hot. So, um I, I, I always wanted to do something different. I just didn't know nobody would give me a job. I didn't have anybody around me with money.
